Īs a result of the Sedition, Bailu was chosen to be Dan Feng's successor as the next High Elder. Following this incident, she left the Xianzhou and her name was erased from the Luofu's public records, with the title of Sword Champion said to have been vacant since the Sedition. Only one year after the Sedition, in Year 7380 Star Calendar, Jingliu fully succumbed to her mara and went on a murderous rampage until she was finally defeated by Jing Yuan. While Jing Yuan’s involvement with this incident was minimal, he is said to have understood the “price” better than anyone, though he did not intervene. By using torn fabric from the edge of her skirt as a makeshift blindfold, Jingliu was able to keep her mara in check as she defeated the draconic beast. Even though Jingliu did not assist them, she also developed mara as a result of the incident. Yingxing assisted Dan Feng in the resurrection process by using Shuhu's flesh however, his involvement backfired on him, and he was transformed into an immortal being struck with mara. However, his tampering ended up creating an uncontrolled draconic abomination that wrought great destruction to the Scalegorge Waterscape. Upset by the endless cycle of death that war brought about, he used the Transmutation Arcanum to resurrect Baiheng, while also allowing other races to be incorporated into the Vidyadhara species. In an attempt to resurrect Baiheng, and also to solve the Vidyadharas' reproduction problem, Dan Feng committed a great sin that was known as the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae. The group came to an end more than 700 years before the main story, in Year 7379 Star Calendar, when Baiheng sacrificed herself in a great battle against Shuhu. Other feats that the Quintet accomplished in their short span included defeating the borisin at Thalassa, destroying the alliance between the Houyhnhnms and the wingweavers in the Abundance Axis, and defeating the living planet Ketu Mirage. They were initially gathered to save the Xianzhou Yuque from an assault by the Denizens of Abundance. Jingliu recruited the other four, with Jing Yuan (still just a boy at the time of inception, though later shown to be an adult) implied to be the last to join. In their heyday, the High-Cloud Quintet were close friends and the heroes of the Xianzhou.

Using what he had learned from his time with the Xianzhou, Yingxing forged four powerful weapons that came to be used by the other members of the High-Cloud Quintet. Yingxing, a short-lived species member who came to the Xianzhou Zhuming on a merchant vessel and stayed to study their craftsmanship before coming to the Luofu.The High-Cloud Quintet was made up of five members from different Xianzhou ships: (From left to right) Yingxing, Dan Feng, Jing Yuan, Jingliu, and Baiheng.
